Never really understood the 'Seven Deadly Sins' as i am sure they are just predicates for humanity, but Paul Cadmus reinvents them as the satanic horrific ventures they are. Take a look at this series if you can, seven stunning paintings which describe in explicit details these anti virtues. Uncomfortable, confrontational and fantastically displayed his 'Gluttony' painting illustrates how i feel right now. Or how i felt yesterday and the day before that and what seems like four years worth of days. But that's irrelevant. 
And one to make your art teacher squirm (left) , mostly because it's a figure with vaginae for armpits and penises for fingers, this is his interpretation of 'Lust'. Which is another stunning and surreal piece, capturing perfectly the sense of the word with absolutely no holding back, not that there should be any degree of that.
Really hope i don't get attacked for copyright here, as all is too aforementioned!
